  2. its the left one rob:thumbup: and yes its like driving in the dark.. hence the spots..
  3. Hi dean, the 190 is the one with the same engine as the 150 but built not to a 750weight spec, mines 1050kg, unless you're talking about the 150?
  4. nice to see landies used as mewp bases aint it..
  5. what rears springs does it have rob? standard or with helper coils inside the big ones? looks like the rear tyres are going to touch arches on full articulation.. (mine catch occasionally)looks awesome though:thumbup:
  6. mines got less than 350hrs on so fingers crossed.. or is it worth changing them before they go? i think the manual says something like change every 2yrs if its getting constant heavy use..
  7. and try not to get them dirty again.. could use a product of some description to pretreat them against stains, i couldn't possibly recommend anything but the idea's there for free..
  8. we have done a few domestic fences over the last few years, nice change sometimes, i always get the customer to pay for materials up front and they are fine with it.. sometimes i think we go extras with building it strong but i try and build them to last like as if i'm doing it for myself. pricing? well theres a fine line between ripping someone off and working for free..
  9. could start a whole thread on this subject.. imagine how fat i'd be if i just pressed a button, i'd have to join a gym:thumbup:
  10. after trying out loads of different machines im still glad i bought my tw190..
  11. []Bremach 3 wheel tipper truck diesel L/H drive on eBay (end time 04-Oct-10 21:12:18 BST) thats the one
  12. you mean like a chimney for when some scrote pops a firelighter at the bottom just before you want to sell it? would make a cracking bonfire eh?
  13. theres one on ebay you might like..
  14. think old capn hook is getting soft.. i expected him to demand a beating:thumbup:
  15. related topic i think.. took the old push iron out for a ride down the local canal towpath in the rain lastweek, speeding kingfisher cruised past the other way in a shiny blue flash, funny i havn't seen one in years but then i havn't been out on the bike for years too:thumbup1:, also had the good experience of waking up in the RV we rented in california and looking out of the window to watch hummingbirds hovering a foot or so from the window.. i never set aside time to just appreciate/look for things like this so its nice when they just appear
  16. we'd have got that duck if your legs were a bit longer..
  17. sweet, very sweet:thumbup1:.. my last truck had steps under it like that, they ended up ragged back underneath:blushing:
  18. looks like a goat willow to me, got a pic of the trunk/bark? or overall shape? Ed.
  19. just give him an invoice that fairly covers the loss, i assume the cctv footage shows everything clearly enough for you not to be mistaken?
  20. i bet the two legged foodgiver is glad of the vinyl seats in the landy.. imagine if he had a landcruiser mmm cloth
  21. good job you didnt wear sleeves on that twig.. any more weight and it would have snapped..
  22. one grey one and one black one.. hope i dont have an accident and end up takin me boots off..
  23. and that was northern radiators (NRG) and i picked it up sunday too...!
  24. thats an expensive rad, i usually pay £100+vat for a rad re-core, although lastweek i got a new rad for the disco for the same price and its a new aluminium core with plastic sides inc oil cooler..
  25. tossing shovels is a southern thing.. apparently:thumbup:
